How to Use the Wordle Solver

Getting Started

  1. Enter your guesses: Type the letters you've already guessed into the grid, one letter per box. The solver supports up to 6 guesses.
  2. Color the boxes: After entering your letters, mark each letter with the appropriate color based on the feedback from Wordle.

Using the Color Buttons

The solver has three color buttons that match Wordle's color system:

How to Color a Letter

  1. First, click on the color button that matches the feedback you received in Wordle.
  2. Then, click on the letter box you want to color. The box will change to your selected color.
  3. To deselect a color, click on the currently selected color button again.

Finding Solutions

  1. After entering your guesses and coloring all the letters, click the "Find Possible Solutions" button.
  2. The solver will analyze your input and display a list of possible solutions below the grid.
  3. Solutions highlighted in green are from the official Wordle dictionary and are more likely to be the answer.

Common Errors to Avoid

Strategies for Solving Wordle Games

The following strategies should significantly improve your Wordle success rate. A consistent and a systematic approach typically outperforms random guessing, even with lucky starter words!

Starting Words

  1. Vowel-Heavy Starters: Begin with words containing common vowels (A, E, I, O, U).
    • Examples: ADIEU, AUDIO, OUIJA (uses 4 vowels)
    • ARISE, RAISE, STARE (balanced with common consonants)
  2. Common Letter Approach: Start with words containing the most frequently used letters in English.
    • Words with E, A, R, T, O, I, N, S
    • Examples: STARE, ROATE, RAISE, SAINT
  3. Position-Based Strategy: Use words where letters commonly appear in specific positions.
    • First position: S, C, B, P, A
    • Last position: E, Y, T, R, L
    • Example starter: SLATE, CRANE, STORE

Middle Game Tactics

  1. Elimination Testing: After your first guess, choose a completely different set of letters to maximize the information you can gather.
    • If you started with STARE, follow with POUND (no repeated letters)
  2. Positional Targeting: Once you have a yellow letter, try it in different positions.
    • If "A" was yellow as the 2nd letter, try it as the 1st, 3rd, 4th, or 5th letter
  3. Double Letter Testing: If you suspect double letters might be present, test them deliberately.
    • Examples: HELLO, SPEED, ABBEY
  4. Consonant or Vowel Focus: Based on your first guess results, pivot to test more consonants or vowels.

End Game Techniques

  1. Letter Pattern Recognition: Be aware of common English letter patterns:
    • Common endings: -ED, -ING, -ER, -EST, -LY
    • Common beginnings: ST-, PR-, CH-, BR-
  2. Process of Elimination: With 3-4 letters known, systematically test possibilities in remaining positions.
  3. Word Families: If you have _ A _ E D, think of the word family (BAKED, FADED, JADED, etc.)
  4. Watch Out for Multiple Possibilities: In late stages, be strategic when multiple options exist.
    • Example: BATCH, HATCH, MATCH, PATCH, LATCH (choose the most common option)

Common Pitfalls

  1. Plurals and Past Tense: Wordle answers are rarely simple plurals (-S) or past tense (-ED).
  2. Rare Letters: Be cautious about using words with J, Q, X, Z too early.
  3. Word Uniqueness: Remember that Wordle selects from a curated list of 2,315 solution words (out of ~13,000 accepted guesses).
  4. Analysis Paralysis: Don't overthink early guesses - gathering information is more important than getting lucky.
  5. Using the Solver Strategically: Use the solver after 3-4 guesses when you have substantial constraints to narrow down possibilities.
